Spectators: 175 (Terracing: 132, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Orfilio Orbañanos started the match with the kick off. The supporters of U. de Tarapacá booed when Emalia Olkusz was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 13 match minutes in a wonderful position. Flint Stone didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Emalia Olkusz's zone, León Philippi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sunday Niedziela came out of the goal and León Philippi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Marcin Zworski's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Ariel Balboa read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 16th minute of play. In the 23rd minute, Xaime Morales hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ariel Balboa took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Innar Laaneloog, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Innar Laaneloog had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ariel Balboa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Innar Laaneloog in the 33rd minute of play. In the 35th minute, Orfilio Orbañanos made a precise shot to the right of Sunday Niedziela. Emalia Olkusz's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. In the 39th minute Orfilio Orbañanos shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sunday Niedziela saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Innar Laaneloog was the one to do the kick off. James Frankowski kicked well hit freekick during the 54th minute of the match. Ariel Balboa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Marcin Zworski, who was totally free with the ball in the 58th minute. After 59 played minutes Emalia Olkusz got a freekick which was hit by James Frankowski. U. de Tarapacá made a substitution. Domingo Barcena replaced Orfilio Orbañanos. James Frankowski kicked well hit freekick during the 60th minute of the match. Domingo Barcena was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 62nd minute. U. de Tarapacá's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 67 minutes into the match, U. de Tarapacá's goal looked a bit too open when Marcin Zworski came free, but Ariel Balboa reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Marcin Zworski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 73rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ariel Balboa came out of the goal in the 80th minute to try and stop a shot by Emalia Olkusz's Innar Laaneloog. But to his dismay, Innar Laaneloog quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. In the 83rd minute Domingo Barcena shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sunday Niedziela saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 88th minute, U. de Tarapacá's Domingo Barcena ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Sunday Niedziela. Sunday Niedziela yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-2. Sunday Niedziela made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Domingo Barcena in the 92nd minute of play. After 93 minutes of play, U. de Tarapacá's Domingo Barcena made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Sunday Niedziela was left in no man's land by his defense there!
